The Sensory Den
We are thrilled to introduce The Sensory Den, a unique and invaluable addition to our school. This dedicated space is designed to support children with sensory processing challenges, providing them with a safe and calming environment where they can explore and regulate their senses.
What is The Sensory Den?
The Sensory Den is a specially designed room that offers a variety of sensory experiences to help children manage sensory sensitivities and sensory overload1. It is equipped with tools and activities that engage the senses in a controlled and soothing manner, making it an ideal space for children who need a break from the typical classroom environment.
Benefits of The Sensory Den
- Calming Environment: The Sensory Den provides a haven for children to relax and de-stress. With calming visuals, gentle sounds, and soothing textures, it helps reduce anxiety and sensory overload.
- Enhanced Focus and Attention: By offering a controlled sensory experience, The Sensory Den helps improve focus and concentration, enabling children to return to their regular classroom activities feeling refreshed and ready to learn1.
- Self-Regulation: The tools and activities in The Sensory Den empower children to manage their own sensory needs and emotional states independently, fostering a sense of autonomy and self-confidence1.
- Inclusive and Supportive: While The Sensory Den is a specialised space, it is an integral part of our inclusive approach. It supports children in building the skills they need to participate fully in all aspects of school life.
Our Commitment
At Meadows, we are committed to ensuring that every child has the opportunity to aspire, grow, and flourish. The Sensory Den is a testament to this commitment, providing a nurturing environment where children can thrive. We are incredibly fortunate to have this resource, and we look forward to seeing the positive impact it will have on our students.
